Safe n Unsafe Vaginal Grooming Trends

Shaving: It is a good practice to shave your genitals and keep it clean.

However, shaving leads to prickle like hair growth that becomes very itchy and uncomfortable. So, make sure you wear clean and dry cotton underwear after shaving.

Bleaching: Well, it might be shocking to know but this unsafe vaginal grooming trend is very common among women these days. Bleach chemically lightens the skin but can be troublesome later. Bleaching the genital hair becomes itchy and even burns at times. So, avoid it if you are allergic to bleaching.

Bikini wax: The trend of grooming your genitals and vagina by waxing is nothing new. Models and actresses started this trend to keep their genitals clean. Although it is safe to go for bikini waxing, women with sensitive skin can face issues like skin rashes. In worst cases, bikini waxing tears of the skin tissues. Just make sure that you get bikini wax in a professional salon. Skin around the genitals is very delicate and soft. So, it is good to get waxed by a professional.

Cleansing: Well, it is important to know that vagina is a self-cleaning organ. So, you do not need to cleanse or wipe it with scented tissues. Highly scented chemical based products like soaps and cleansers can lead to vaginal itching and bacterial infections.

Vajazzling: After Jennifer Love Hewitt openly discussed about vajazzling as a vaginal grooming trend that she tried, vajazzling has become a hot pick for many women. In this grooming method, the waxed genitals is dolled up with stick-on swarovski crystals. It might look hot with a low waist outfit but if you plan to get permanent one then it can be really bad for the skin.
